According to the report I am reading they think Charles Rowley found a container in Queen Elizabeth Gardens which is not very far from The Maltings where the Skripals were found.
I wonder if the Russians had just dumped it and it looked like heroine so this couple picked it up?

Decontamination squad did not do a very thorough job if it has been lying there since March.

Well my logic says that, whoever dumped it would have made sure it was in a very safe container, or they may have been contaminated.
This couple may have picked it up but not used it till recently, and anyway, it is unlikely that the decontamination unit had worked much further away than where they knew the Skripals had been. Unlikely that would have been where drug addicts hang about or buy drugs!

Re: Poisoned by nerve gas part 2

Oh no, that's shocking.

So how come she died when she was poisoned weeks after and by accident/chance, when the two Skripals survived having been deliberately targeted?

Is survival due to the strength of one's constitution?
So a druggy is going to have a far lower chance of survival?

That seems to be the consensus of opinion now from the powers to be, maybe the resident expert will advise us

A bit of an expert on decontamination drills then Pur, what does the cell master in Brighton have to say on the matter?

Apparently the amount needed to kill someone would fit on a pin head.

Re: Poisoned by nerve gas part 2

Perhaps the perpetrator kept the stuff until they thought the search was over. Then they dumped it thinking it would go to landfill.
You'd think these assasin types would have methods of disposing of nerve agents somehow and somewhere so it couldn't be traced back to them.
It seems a bit slap dash

I imagine that they would be wearing safety gloves when they disposed of it, so unlikely they would find any DNA..... and if it was somebody from Russia, they are not likely to be coming back!
